Gospel singer, Akinade laments celebrity failed marriages.
IT is not a gainsaying that the Nigeria Entertainment scene reign supreme and most of these celebrities are always identified as semi-god. They have made their way into the hearts of the people who dream to be like them, but there is one thing their fans would never pray for, which is failed marriages and heartbreaks.
The growing list of failed marriages in the Nigeria Entertainment Industry calls for redress as this development continue to increase, some of them have remained eligible spinsters and Bachelors, but this ugly act is more rampant among the female celebrities that suppose to be a good example to house wives, some of who pride them as role models. The list of celebrities in this category is endless and inexhaustible.
Mega Icon Magazine took up a gospel singer who has recorded tremendous success in her career, Evangelist Rachael Olubukola Akinade popularly known as “Senwele Jesu” on this ugly development.
Akinade expressed her dissatisfaction on this social malady which has turned to a social crisis especially among female Artistes.
In an encounter with Mega Icon Magazine, she said “the Bible even confirmed it that whoever find a wife, finds a good thing and obtain favour from the Lord, so being a celebrity or star does not give the chance or permission to be the lord over our husbands. The Lord has made our Men our heads, no matter whom we are as a celebrity or icon, we need to see our husbands as our heads, so inability to submit to their orders, accord them respect and see them as our tin god is one of the causes of these failed marriages”, she stated confidently.
The gospel music icon further revealed that most of these female celebrities see themselves on top of the World, believing that, they have attained the peak and above control.
“If their husband says, this is how I want it to be, they find it difficult to bend to their hubby’s wish and there is no man, no matter how gentle he is, if a woman tries to put on her ego, men would definitely reacts”, she reiterated.
Stressing further, she counseled that men must also honour their wives as respect is reciprocal, they should also see the female folks as a weaker vessels and handle them with great care while the celebrities should also pay back these kind gestures.
Evangelist Akinade did not fail to appeal to celebrities to forget about their stardom, fame and whom they are when it comes to their homes, because without having a good home, even if, they progress in their careers, the respect would not be there.
While advising them not to compete but be submissive to their hubbies at least for a moment and make their opinion known in a polite way, since there is no perfect marriage, it is full of ups and downs, so we need to manage each other, she advised.

The development comes months after Simi had hinted at her pregnancy. In December, she shared a video on Instagram, captioned, “From my baby, for my babies,” with the clip showing her baby bump.
The arrival of the twins also comes weeks after Simi featured in a snippet from Adekunle Gold’s recently released music video titled My Love Is the Same.

Jamaican reggae icon, Jimmy Cliff, is dead. He died on Monday at the age of 81.
His wife, Latifa Chambers, announced the singer’s passing in a statement posted on his official Instagram page.
Chambers said Cliff “crossed over due to a seizure followed by pneumonia,” describing the loss as “profoundly saddening.”
She wrote, “I am thankful for his family, friends, fellow artists, and coworkers who have shared his journey with him. To all his fans around the world, please know that your support was his strength throughout his whole career.”
Cliff, revered as one of reggae’s defining figures and widely regarded as the genre’s most influential artiste after the late Bob Marley, enjoyed a stellar career that spanned more than four decades.
A multi-instrumentalist known for classics such as You Can Get It If You Really Want and The Harder They Come, Cliff blended reggae with folk, soul, ska and rock. His music frequently tackled themes of politics, poverty, injustice and social resistance.
He shot to global prominence following the release of the 1972 film The Harder They Come, in which he starred. The movie, partly inspired by his tough upbringing, played a pivotal role in pushing Jamaican reggae onto the world stage.
Reacting to his death, Jamaica’s Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, described Cliff as “a true cultural giant whose music carried the heart of our nation to the world.”
“His music lifted people through hard times, inspired generations, and helped to shape the global respect that Jamaican culture enjoys today,” Holness said.
“Walk good, Jimmy Cliff. Your legacy lives on in every corner of our island and in the hearts of the Jamaican people,” he added.
